On October 15, 2006, Donald "Donnie" Messier left a friend's house in Waitsfield and has not been heard from since.

There has been no contact with him, no sightings of his vehicle and no bank activity. To mark the anniversary date of his disappearance, our family is having a potluck dinner on Saturday, October 13, at 5 p.m. at the Legion on Stowe Street in Waterbury. We invite people to bring their favorite dish and a story to share as we gather to remember the good times. Could you please announce this to help us spread the word over the next few days? I appreciate your consideration in helping us get the word out.
